FALL UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! 🎃🍂

I'm really glad I kept my expectations low because I am excited! I might have to change my plan for where I want my house or other villager houses so I can have my own personal pumpkin patch, but I don't really care. I love how the spooky decorations look. I like that the pumpkins will actually have a use for decoration. I like the new NookLink update for reactions. I really like the new costumes. Did I see pink eyes?

I am sad that there is no Brewster yet. I feel like the game is a bit incomplete without him.
 
Pumpkin growing and spooky furniture!!!! AND PINK AND PURPLE EYES 😍😍😍 I feel like pumpkin growing will probably seasonal.. (I hope it’s not) but maybe it means we’ll have seasonal crops?

also the costumes !! I’m so excited to give my little villagers candy on Halloween 🎃

I do know the first update got me a Nintendo Switch as a gift. And another update got me a worldmap? I'm not sure how many updates there have been but yeah, it seems like everyone comes with a letter to thank you for updating and an item.

Perhaps you can create a cursed non-pink corner to fit the Halloween theme :p
 
I'm pretty excited for this update to come out, although for some unknown reasons i was a little bit disappointed... probably because i was too overhyped for this update; was expecting Leif's Garden Shop, Brewster's Cafe or something like that but hey! This is still a good update
 
I was really hoping that they'd add in pumpkin harvesting so we could craft decorations with them. The little sprout available in Nook's Cranny is so cute! They didn't disappoint!! I'm so excited, ahh!

I love that they added some new emotes and all the character customization! Unnatural eye colors yesss! 😆 Not that they had any real excuse to not add in more customization options for characters, but I feel like them adding the ones they did shows that they'll be adding more in the future! Shampoodle update to add in more hairstyles eventually?? Maybe?? Idk but to me seeing this update for customization guarantees that there are more in our future!
 
I love how casually they introduced farming, the pumpkins look so cute! Hopefully its expanded on in the Nov update! The new emotions and stuff look so cute too!

Honestly I've never been a huge fan of the spooky items, so this update being mainly for Halloween is kinda meh for me, but it still looks sooooo adorable! I cant wait to see everyone dressed up on Halloween!

Since it looks like you get pumpkin items from crafting this time round, wonder what Jack will be giving now hmm

I am really really sad Brewster wasnt included in this update though, I thought for sure he would be. I honestly dont see him being in the next update either since 2 NPCs are being back there already, but I hope I can be proven wrong :(

I like what I see here. I kept my expectations low, so they were exceeded. To what degree they've exceeded my expectations, though, I can't say until we see everything the update offers when it's released.

The additional eye and skin colors are nice to see and I'm already coming up with ideas for "costumes" inasmuch as is possible in these games.

Torn on the prospect of growing pumpkins for DIYs. On one hand, I love it, but on the other, I don't really know where to put the pumpkin patch on my island. I have areas that I set aside for new buildings if they're added, but never really factored in something like this despite the rumors of farming that had been floating around. Guess I'll have to rethink some things in the next few days regarding my island's layout.

I'm hoping we can still get those pumpkin-head masks like we got in New Leaf, whether as a result of a trick like before, or through crafting like the Bunny Day clothes that we could craft with the various eggs. My main New Leaf town was horror themed and the mayor would often, though not always, wear the various pumpkin head masks. My New Horizons island isn't horror or Halloween themed, but I dunno, I'd still like to have those in this game anyway. Speaking of trick items returning, I'd like to see the patched clothes return as well, though they seem unlikely.

I wish those new Reactions were in New Leaf because of my aforementioned horror town in that game. One of the characters is a vampire and it would've fit perfectly. Alas. Nice addition, and no doubt appreciated by those who have darker-themed islands in New Horizons.

Not sure what to think about how the trick-or-treating works now. It looks less interesting than in the previous games, but we barely saw anything of it, so I'll withhold judgment.

Regardless of how it all shakes out by the end, I look forward to experiencing everything this update has to offer. Hopefully everything added in this update will suffice in helping us all have a very happy Halloween. 🎃
 
MY FARM WILL FINALLY HAVE A PURPOSE! I love all the pumpkin decorations. I bet it would look so nice and creepy during fog (maybe it’s time I finally use meteonook to track my weather patterns lol). This update looks super cute and fun and I’m really excited! I love the customisation options too and the haunt reaction is already my favourite haha. Can’t wait to get spooky with friends 👻

That is understandable. I think I got that way for the previous update with swimming. I hope you end up enjoying the update.

The next update got a bell rug, and I think the firework/dreaming update gave us a firework wallpaper and Luna’s bed

I should probably make one of my rooms spooky tbh... EXERCISE IS SCARY LET’S THROW IN THE RING FIT CONTROLLER 🎃😎

You can actually see the orange one being worn in the trailer! When they are showing off the two new emotes, there's a player on the cliff wearing the pumpkin head.
 
Really loving the Halloween decor and the new skin tones and eye colors are exciting too! Gives me hope they'll continue to expand on that.

Farming, too. 💕 Just pumpkins for now it seems, but hopefully that's expanded upon, too.

Looking forward to October. :)
 
I'm so excited honestly. I wonder if I can just keep and set out pumpkins all year long or if they spoil like turnips? Hopefully not - like, other fruits don't spoil so these shouldn't right? Another thing I wish could last are the expanded customization for your character. How cool would it be to have teal skin all year 'round and be a spooky/gorgeous mermaid??

Also have to say I'm happy to see there will be a November update with Franklin!! I am hoping we get to do the Thanksgiving event like we did in new leaf, because those little food items were so cute and I'd love to have the milk and butter in my kitchen again!
